    EP 5: Digging Deep into Geothermal with Hazel Starmer-Jones

    Guest: Hazel Starmer-Jones, Former Development Manager at Geothermal Engineering Limited (GEL) This episode explores the past, present and future of geothermal energy through an on-site visit to the UK’s first commercial geothermal energy project. Nate interviews Hazel Starmer-Jones former development manager at GEL about their geothermal project at the United Downs site in Cornwall. They discuss the science behind geothermal, the geological conditions that make Cornwall ripe for subsurface power, and the multi-decade journey GEL has been on to establish the UK's first geothermal power plant. Hazel explains the advantages of geothermal as a baseload power source, the site's discovery of lithium-rich fluids, and the potential for geothermal heating and lithium extraction. They also cover the technical challenges of deep drilling, policy barriers that have hindered development, strategies for community engagement, and workforce development needs. Finally, Hazel provides insights into the future expansion of geothermal across the UK. Key Topics: How geothermal energy works  Cornwall's geological conditions for geothermal History of geothermal efforts in UK/Cornwall Overcoming economic barriers to geothermal Advantages of geothermal power  Geothermal heating applications  Lithium discovery in geothermal fluids  Deep drilling challenges  Policy incentives and regulatory hurdles  Managing seismic risks Community engagement strategies  Green workforce development needs Future UK geothermal potential  Subscribe on Substack: ⁠https://nettingzeros.substack.com/⁠  Join us on Linkedin: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/nettingzeros⁠ Follow us on Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/nettingzeros/⁠

    Innovating zero with Innovation Zero

    On this episode of Netting Zeros we take you behind the scenes at Innovation Zero - one of the largest events in the UK focused on sustainability and achieving net zero. Walk the floor with us as we explore the latest clean technologies, hear from policymakers, and find out what Labour might have in store for net-zero.  We discuss potential policy changes around net zero goals with labor politicians in the UK including: Alan Whitehead MP and Kerry Gillian McCarthy MP on their visions for SME support around clean-tech and the opportunities of Net-Zero.  Listen to hear about how Enfiniuim, a waste to energy company, is developing new decarbonization business lines. https://enfinium.co.uk/  This inside look provides a glimpse into the innovations, policies, and actions driving progress toward environmental sustainability in the UK. Get an on-the-ground perspective from this major net zero expo.

    Ep 3: There's only one Planet A

    In this episode we sit down with Amanda Foreman and Dr Dave Parish, co-founders of Planet A Solutions in their offices in Truro, Cornwall.  Planet A is a Community Interest Company (CIC) that blends architectural and engineering expertise to help industrial clients integrate renewable energy solutions to the benefit of their bottom line.  We learn why Cornwall is home to so many renewable power innovators, as well as the potential for offshore wind, tidal and wave energy. Dave also delves into why floating offshore wind is likely to be a mainstream energy source for the UK in future.   We talk bats and wind turbines, why the grid is so jammed, and what climate emergencies actually mean. Planet A are gearing up to help deliver ‘Integrated Energy Systems in the Built Environment’ Part of ‘The Future is Green’ - Green Skills project at the University of Exeter, a skills development project part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. Like what you heard? Learn from them! Expressions of interest is open in early May and for more information contact Green.skills@exeter.ac.uk or see the project webpages https://sites.exeter.ac.uk/greenskills” Please let us know what you think of the conversation – we are enormously grateful to Dave and Amanda for backing our trip to Cornwall!

    Ep 2: Innovating energy funding - Chris Coonick

    We caught up with Chris Coonick as she left a position as Programme Manager of the Ofgem-funded Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) at Innovate UK, the UK’s national innovation agency, to a new role at the National Grid Chris reflects on her work with the SIF, a five-year £450m programme to accelerate the innovation needed to transform energy networks for the future — at lowest cost to consumers. Chris and her team sifted pitches from companies, particularly smaller players, in fields as diverse as agritech to engineering that could use a funding boost, plus incubator-style legal support and business mentorship, to help decarbonise the energy system. We also hear about Chris’ journey from sci-fi and architecture-interested childhood, to a degree in Electrical Engineering and a Master’s in Renewable Energy in the Built Environment, before going on to roles installing solar panels and delivering solar-powered vaccine fridges to UNICEF. She offers thoughts on practical steps the next generation can take to find their Net-Zero niche. ✍️ Episode Links Netting Zeros on Linkedin Netting Zeros Substack
